UT Library School Sematech Montgomery County Library Webmaster for library system branch manager

Boss wanted the whole building to be UX driven

Previous concept of UX-put up a sign and tell users what to do

UX office of One

Illusion/delusion/happy-buy in from everyone! Mandate! Woot!

Opps! Not really buy in A lot of folks hate UX but, a thick skin and being satisfied with baby steps helps

What I did do wrong: should have had more stakeholder meetings should have used a variety of methods-sort of got tied to ethnography

align services, facilities, staffing, and digital presence with the real needs of library users use time and resources wisely gain credibility on campus (you are doing research) strengthen its importance to the academic mission of the university drive innovation facilitate relationships uncover unrecognized problems you don’t have to go back and change, because you got all the input and feedback up front

A position is retiring in Jan- I am looking at his workflow Most beloved service in library- fails could have big impact

I got a button!

New design space!

Dedicated usability station

Back to Heuristics with no data capture more use of card sorting, GOMS, Cognitive Walkthough

Awesome student worker is heading off to grad school in the Fall of 2013 for Human Factors Will try to start a UX Council Will try to use Student workers more for usability

Lots to Work On:Hey Debra,Oh excellent!Things I also hate:The turnstiles (cause, ya know, its a library, not a prison).The stamp-pads in the books, we can all use the Internet to see due-dates, why are we wasting paper and ink?The incredibly slow 10-minute computersI think those are the major things, if I come up with anything else Ill letyou know. Good luck!
